Miscellaneous Monday

as l stopped by the window
and filled the kettle for a brew
I was drawn to the symmetrical composition 
outside the kitchen window

twin parked
almost identical cars
made a strangely pleasing sight

    I thought at first you'd mirror-imaged the photo yourself! What a fabulous suprise for you.

    By the way, I love your new look and title.

    You're up late. I'm still in Sunday with a bunch of teenagers talking "Dude" talk behind me. (At least they haven't tried to banish me to a different room.) Love those green cars. Everything here is dark and beige blah!

    It's one thing to see something like that, but you managed to take a fantastic photo as well.

    Except for the hub caps (do you call them hub caps in jolly old England?) they look identical to me and the symmetry is perfect

    Pretty. And weird. Did you back away slowly?

    Such pretty sights out of your window. Do you have much of a breeze your way? A breeze can make all the difference.

    So cool... I wondered if the owners returning to them stuggled to work out which one was which.

    I remember spending five mins thinking the lock had broken on my brothers car until someone said... since when did your car have a sun roof? Ours was two rows further on in the car park

Though particularly because I had time to suit myself, time away from pressure of work, time away from the kids, all types of timetables. Time away from decision making, which I abhor with a passion! Sometimes, though thankfully not often when l am alone. Sitting in a coffee shop. Or in line in the bank or supermarket. Waiting in the car in line for the car park. Usually alone waiting. I get the heebee jeebee's. In plain speak a panic or anxiety attack. It comes in the form of a butterfly fluttering in my chest, a screaming in my head. Silent screaming. But I feel the noise. White noise. That drives darkness through the day like a knife through butter. It lasts but a few moments, but a dry fear stays a while. Remaining hidden amongst the layers of feelings and experiences we call life. Whilst walking alone through the streets of London, it lurked. Unacknowledged. Invisible. Whilst feeling the beat of the city...

I park in the nearest car park, courtesy of the City Council, a perk of the job. Thank you very much. And this is what l see on my short walk from car park to work! silhouette of castle gate looking back over my shoulder where l have walked from the very ineffectual Millennium Bridge this is the entrance to the underpass, which takes us under the dual carriageway that separates the Castle from the city, the Museum and Cathedral this is the underpass decorated with old local industrial machinery and the Cursing Stone produced for the Millennium and inscribed with a centuries old curse it receives the wrath of locals as it is considered the cause of all our recent ills, Foot & mouth and the Floods the marble floor containing prominent local and Reiver's name the Whispering Wall, solid glass brick, come alive with...
